My friends at Trout Unlimitedâ€™s Madison-Gallatin chapter (MGTU) have asked me to share an important message with you.

We are proud to be partners with MGTU doing the hard work required to conserve, protect and restore the coldwater fisheries and watersheds we all love in Southwest Montana.

And, as a fellow angler and someone who shares your passion for wild trout and the fragile places where they thrive, Iâ€™m encouraging you to join us in supporting MGTUâ€™s TroutFest 2020 and its online silent auctionâ€“ MGTU Banquet Online It is the one and only time they ask for help throughout the year.

Thank You and Tight Lines!
